Ramonda serbica, also known as Serbian ramonda and Serbian phoenix flower, is a species in the family Gesneriaceae. It is one of the few European representatives of this family, found in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, North Macedonia and Serbia. It is typically found in cool, damp, shaded environments, primarily on steep, north-facing limestone foundations. The flower was discovered by Serbian botanist Josif Pančić in 1874 near Niš.[2] It is known for its ability to be revived when watered, even when fully dehydrated, also known as a Desiccation plant.[3] In Serbia it is used as a symbol of Armistice Day in World War I.[4]
